Real Clear Politics has a link to the Palin speech today as well as several quotes – this is the most important part:
…On crony capitalism: “So many of them, they arrive in Washington, DC of modest means and then miraculously throughout the years they end up becoming very, very wealthy. Well, it’s because they derive power and their wealth from their access to our money, to taxpayer dollars.”
“They use it to bail out their friends on Wall Street. And their corporate cronies. And to reward contributors. And to buy votes via earmarks. There is so much waste. And there is a name for this. It’s called ‘corporate crony capitalism,’” she said.
“Like you, I’m not for sale. I believe in the free market and that is why I detest crony capitalism. And Barack Obama has shown us cronyism on steroids. It will lead to our downfall if we don’t stop it now.”…
She gets it – whether by insight or careful study, she understands the basis of what is wrong…we’ve got a self-perpetuating Ruling Class which has fastened itself upon American society. They are like colonial overlords, or a visitation…they are not organically connected to us, but they rule us and bleed us dry so they and their hangers-on can prosper. Unless and until we get rid of them, we won’t be able to restore America.
The people who run our system of government and economics will always stand in the way of reform for the simple reason that any reform will eject them from power. There is no way that those who leech off the American people will voluntarily give up their place at the trough. They will have to be forced out – by peaceful, political revolution. Sarah Palin understands this – so, to be sure, do Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain and Rick Santorum. But Palin has the national name recognition and the instant ability to raise hundreds of millions of dollars as well as mobilize an army of volunteers.
In spite of all the excellent qualities in the current GOP primary field – and whomever gets the nomination will get my enthusiastic support against Obama – my view is that Sarah Palin is the best option for the GOP in 2012. Palin is the embodiment of the true American spirit…the self-reliant, hard working, family-orientated, ardently Christian core of America. She is the sort of person who crossed the oceans to found America, and who then tamed a continent, built a democratic republic and made America in to the most powerful and generous nation in human history. We can get that America back – but only by revolution. Of all the candidates Palin is not only most likely to do this, but she has the ability to run that long, difficult race which will be necessary for a revolutionary to win the GOP nomination and beat Barack Obama.
So, run, Sarah, run. Become the leader of the revolution and let’s restore America.
